While Americans and the British bombard the Jihadist strongholds in Iraq and Syria, Jihadists continue the shocking horrific crimes and sent the message that the end is nowhere near.
The fourth hostage was executed by the jihadists of ISIS, according to a video that circulated on the internet on Friday evening.
The latest victim of the Islamic State’s brutality is Alan Henning, the 47 year-old taxi driver from Manchester, UK, who was kidnapped in Syria around nine months ago and who was believed to have been held captive with 20 more Westerners by ISIS.
Henning was abducted by the ISIS extremists during his partaking in a humanitarian mission in Syria, with some Muslim friends of his, last Christmas.
Henning’s executioner connects the assassination by beheading to Britain’s decision to using military violence against jihadists in Iraq.
In the end of the video another hostage appears in the ISIS video, an American by the name of Peter Kassig. At the same time, the masked man says to Obama that since the U.S. began bombing “his people” in Syria, then the president’s people should also be hurt.
The authenticity of the video has not been verified, but, according to the Associated Press it was released like the previous beheading videos.
